What is the plasma membrane?
A biological membrane that separates and protects the interior of the cell from the external environment.
A rigid structure that provides support to the cell.
A fluid-filled space within the cell that contains organelles.

They do not retain the crystal violet stain during Gram staining.
They have a thick peptidoglycan layer in their cell wall, which retains the crystal violet stain used in the Gram staining procedure.
